7 miles at an amazing 8 mm.  Nice flat run around the 'hood.  Canal trail and around the neighborhood.

Evening yoga.

My left hamstring has this cramp that will not go away!!  Foot pain is pretty bad too.  I thought taking a week off would heal everything up, but I am in worse shape!

10 a.m. 8 miles @ a 7:50 pace.  Beautiful weather and perfect temp!!!  Nice and easy eight.  Played "tempo tag"  with certain songs on my ipod.  (Ask questions if you are interested).  All 8 miles were on the canal trail.  I feel like the trail is a nice post-marathon recovery route.  From my house I went north, 1 mile past Cabela's and turned around.  

Nice stretching followed by a hot bath.  I think my legs are still tired from TOU marathon.  I hope by next week there will be a little more speed in my legs.  

Good luck to everyone running SGM!!!!!  I am so dang jealous, you have no idea.  I am journeying out to the Uintah Basin for a wedding this week. (BOOOOO)  I would so much rather be running the marathon.  I would take a marathon over a wedding any day!!!

Woke up at 5:45 a.m. due to a friend texting me from the start of the SG marathon.   They were a bit too excited to run 26.2 miles.  I told the person I would dedicate 10 miles to them. 

I was staying in Bluebell Utah, which is basically 10 miles north and east of nothing.  I was staying at a lodge for my cousin's wedding.  I had spent hours the previous day helping the family set up the wedding.  The wedding was beautiful, but deep down I really wanted to be at the race.  Such is life. 

I woke up, quickly got dressed and slipped away from the pink and yellow decorated cabin.  I ran 2 miles in a cow pasture hehehe.   This was new to me.  I was a little nervous to run through the cattle in order to make it to the road.  But I guess the cattle were more nervous than I was and just ran the other direction as I approached.  It was kind of fun running toward the cattle and watching them run in all different directions.  I would do it again.  

 I then ran 8 miles on country roads being passed by only 3 cars my entire run.  Beautiful scenery and perfect temps.  The run made me miss running in the Uintah Basin a little bit.  

I was happy that I was at the wedding.  Believe it or not, family does come before running.  :)

IF I ever get married, running will FOR SURE be on the wedding day agenda. What an amazing way to clear your mind before such a chaotic day.
